Description
1752 erhielt Johann Friedrich Pierson die Braurechte verliehen. Seitdem braut meine Familie nun schon neun Generationen Bierspezialitäten - so wie die Nordhessen sie lieben - auf der Knallhütte. Damit erhielt die nordhessische Braugeschichte und Braukultur eine feste Heimat.

Bottle. Clear yellow/gold with a white frothy head that disappears in a minute. Mild aroma of grains and grass with a tiny fruity note. Taste is grains and grass again plus a lot of minerals with a surprisingly nice fruity touch (citrus fruits and apricots). Only a faint hint of hops and no bitterness to speak of. Medium carbonation. It's ok and süffig but I wouldn't buy it on my own. Shoutout to my father-in-law.

Bottle from Peggy for Christmas, Pours yellowish from the bottle. White frothy head that soon fades. Very mild aroma of grains, plum and light skunk greets the nose. Taste has fruity note to it, a sort of mild unripe plum sourness, and then finishes with spice and a mild papery bitterness. Body is medium, carbonation is moderate. It’s okayish and it did grow on me after a wobbly start, but overall not worth drinking another.

Flasch’: Deep golden, clludy, big and stable fluffy off-white head; bready malt, a tinge of soy-sauce and herbal to piney hops in the dryish bitter nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, accompanied by a certain tartness, light to medium bodied; lingering dry herbal and yeasty finish, again pretty tart, even in the aftertaste. Not undrinkable, but quite unharmonic...

(bottle, 33cl) Almost cloudy, murky golden coloured hue with floaties and a mid-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Yeasty, delicately grainy malty and slightly wheaty aroma with perfumed fruity notes of banana, apricots, accompanied by some floral touch. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a tame carbonation for a wheat-beer. Starchy malt- and slightly wheat-character with notes of banana and traces of apricots; medium-dry, sweet and slightly bitter finish with wheaty and banana-fruity notes, accompanied by late-arriving hoppy spicy, which is not that helpful here. Just okay, but not a particularly rounded Weizenbock. 26.XII.16
